Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Float 7—4—59" in handwriting. The image shows a wider shot of an unknown street in Juneau, with a low brown structure with a peaked roof on the far side of the street, and a sliver of mountains in the background at right.. Power lines cut through the top of the image. A float is traveling along the street toward the left, fashioned from a pickup truck with a blue cab and a flatbed. The flatbed is draped in orange with red, white, and blue streamers attached to it. There are bundles of hay on the flatbed, on which sit three figures in cowboy hats. The door on the truck cab has a decal reading "L—L". The number "5" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left.
